Hi,

 

During my last trip in USA, I found a copy of this one (originally issued on GALAXY 722) on DAU label.

 

Same artist (this is Johnny and not Ted), same credits, same label numbers, same publishings...and same recordings

 

any infos on this strange label (original? local label? reissue? boot?)

 

Thanks

Romain

 

 

   

 

 

   

I've never seen this, but I have Barbara Acklin's "Love makes a woman" on this label. I always thought it looked a bit dodgy, but the JM guide lists both as originals. Local issue perhaps?

Never seen this or heard of it either. Galaxy one been in the collection for years, if I had seen evidence of the DAU one, I would certainly have been curious of more info.

I have a heard time imagining that both Barbara Acklin's (Chicago production) and Little Johnny Taylor's West Coast production) were originally released on the same local label.  That has to be a re-issue label (and I'm skeptical that its owner actually paid the rights holders for the rights to issue records using those recordings.

i still say dau is a dutch bootleg label

Then why are all they popping up in the states and not down here in Belgium, Holland.... ? Some sort of USA boot I'd say just like Rob suppose. Most likely old boot if not contemporary to the originals to catch up on the hit sales and demand. Otherwise some sort of "revival" boots when the stocks of NOS where dried up and/or dislocated I'd believe. Eitherway, they are mindwonderer at first as catchy to the eye. Are they more of those DAU "gothic" releases out there ?

I've got both the DAU records mentioned in the thread, and both were found in the US.

 

Never heard of a Dutch connection (never mind the fact that they don't appear to be the same grade of vinyl used in the Dutch 45s i've seen)

they aren't really popping up in the states (the whole reason this topic exists is that they aren't common) and there are tons of bootlegs from there that stay local. I'm sure that that DHC label is a dutch deep soul bootleg label. right now there is a seller in dubai selling a huge 70s dutch deep soul collection that has tons of weird boots of records that i've never seen.

 

either way, I agree it could be from the states, i'm not sure. i'm sure it's a bootleg label though.

Those Dutch bootlegs of "deep soul", actually made by and for the "Surinamese" music scene (so not only deep soul but many other genres as well), are less creative design-wise than this DAU or are just plain monochrome photocopies of the original label. This DAU thing "borrowing" the diamond's of the Diamond Jim logo has something audatious of a love bandit attitude to it I kinda dig.
